Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's "hometown" beer, brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: "The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager **-*** started well, in 1988, and has gained in character since."

One of the best American made lager from a bottle. A orangy/bronze color. Nice hoppy aroma. Pours to a nice head. The head slowly fades during the course of drinking, but never completely leaves. Has a bit of a sweet floral throughout. Nice aftertaste. It is the first beer I have had in a long time that I tried to get the last of the foamy head out of the bottom of the empty glass, it was that tasty. I highly recommend this beer. I plan on buying more asap.

12oz bottle from thecarster1 poured into a pint glass. Pours a deep golden amber with a steady stream of bubbles from the bottom feeding a very thick white head that stays on as a cap for the duration. The aroma is subtle light biscuity malts, some toasted grains and a bit of grassy hops. The hops are also right up front in the taste with a floral grassy taste up. The backbone is decidedly sweet with lightly toasted caramel malts before a crisp, barely-bitter finish. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth and very clean and crisp with a strong carbonation that all pulls together to make an excellent lager. It’s smooth, fairly sweet and has none of the skunky characters you sometimes get in a run-of-the-mill lager. Enjoyed this one thoroughly.

[bottle] Nice US hops aroma: pine is stronger than grapefruit, then some caramel. Clear bronze with a clingy, lacy white top. Nice hoppy caramel flavour that is slightly lemony and with some faint peanuts. Also bitter grapefruit. Crisp finish, medium carbonation.

Quite good lager. Fruity and flowery European-lager-tasting hops added to a full bodied American lager. It tasted familiar but much hoppier. It worked and is very refreshing.
